Before Matthew Perry starred in one of the biggest sitcoms, he was an extra on Silver Spoons. Even though he had no lines in that 1986 episode, the 17-year-old stood out.
Last week on Quantum Leap, Ben (Raymond Lee) told his ex-fiancee Addison (Caitlin Bassett) that since she moved on with another man because she thought he was dead for the three years when he was missing, he can no longer have her be his hologram as he travels aimlessly through time. Therefore, you would think he would have an easy assignment this week. No such luck for him.
Tonight at 10p on NBC, he finds himself as a Korean in Koreatown in the middle of the LA Riots with a domineering father and a brother who wants out of their family shoe business.
This would be hard for him on a good day, but it is even tougher with all he is going through. Thankfully, he will have Magic (Ernie Hudson) by his side to guide him through this assignment.
This assignment will also be challenging for Magic because it will bring up his past as an African-American man in America. So, he will make mistakes. As will Ben.
But will their mistakes lead to someone being killed as the rioters and the police inch closer to their store?
On top of it, Magic is also dealing with stuff in our timeline. And that is going to give us more insight into what he has been up to during the three years that Ben was missing and the Quantum Leap Project was shut down.
Tonight’s episode deals with something that many of us witnessed and have a lot of emotions about. Because of that, it really hits home when you watch it because you will remember what those scary days were like. And the series does an excellent job of covering that horrible moment in our timeline.
I hope they continue to do episodes where they take on real events. That and I am also enjoying that Ben is getting different holograms every week. Each person gives a different perspective and changes the feeling of his mission.
Quantum Leap is one of the rare shows where the second season is so much better than the first.
I love creature features because, most of the time, they are in the joke. For example, Teddiscare knows the concept of an oversized killer Teddy Bear is crazy, but they still made the movie. And it looks like it is going to be a lot of fun!
Plus, you can show it to the kids in your life who have way too many stuffed animals on their beds. After they watch this movie, they will throw all those things out!
Granted, they will be sleeping in your bed with you for a while. But at least they will have room on their beds when they are brave enough to sleep there again.
We are 22 days from Thanksgiving, but we can already enjoy those yummy sides before then. That is because Baskin Robbins mashed them all together for their Flavor of the Month.
Turkey Day Fixin’s is a delicious combination of sweet potato and autumn spice ice creams mixed with honey cornbread pieces and swirls of Ocean Spray® cranberry sauce.
“We continue to push the boundaries of flavor innovation at Baskin-Robbins and wanted to bring a unique scoop to the table that deliciously encapsulates all the sweet and savory flavors from your favorite Thanksgiving sides,” said Hannah Suits, Director of Brand Marketing for Baskin-Robbins.
I don’t know about you, but my mouth is wet in anticipation of all of those flavors in one spoonful!
Walmart is so special; they have been able to bring casts back together. Last year, they reunited the people who worked in Office Space, including Michael Bolton. And now, they got the Mean Girls, Lindsay Lohan, Lacey Chabert, and Amanda Seyfried, to go back to high school to promote Walmart+ and their Black Friday deals.
And that is a really big deal because we know that Cady, Gretchen, and Karen would never shop there. At least, I assume that they don’t. I saw the movie once and barely remember it. I know sacrilege.
